Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirms meeting with Trump amid tensions over AUKUS and Middle East conflict
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed he will meet with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada. The meeting, expected to be held on Tuesday, marks the first face-to-face encounter between the two leaders. Speaking on Sunday, Mr Albanese told Sky News he expected the meeting to be 'constructive'. It comes despite growing pressure from Washington over Australia's defence spending and deepening unrest in the Middle East. 'I do expect to meet the President on the sidelines of the G7 meeting Tuesday,' Mr Albanese said on Sunday. 'I expect that we will be able to have a constructive engagement as well, and I look forward to building on the constructive phone conversations that we've had.' The meeting comes as the United States formally reviews the $350 billion AUKUS pact, amid frustrations over Australia's reluctance to lift defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP. Mr Albanese said he would raise both tariffs and AUKUS with the US President.

UK PM launches national inquiry into 'grooming gangs'
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will accept a recommendation for a national inquiry into grooming gangs who sexually abused thousands of girls, having previously resisted calls for a statutory review. The scandal, which revealed how gangs of mostly Pakistani men had groomed, trafficked and raped young white girls more than a decade ago, returned to the political agenda this year after US billionaire Elon Musk criticised the British government. Interior minister Yvette Cooper in January asked Louise Casey, a former senior official, to undertake a "rapid audit" of the scale and nature of gang-based exploitation in Britain. Casey's report is expected to say that vulnerable white British girls were "institutionally ignored" by police and local authorities fearing being accused of racism, Sky News reported on Saturday. "(Casey's) position when she started the audit was that there was not a real need for a national inquiry, over and above what was going on," Starmer told reporters en route to the G7 summit in Canada on Saturday. "She has come to the view that there should be a national inquiry on the basis of what she has seen. I have read every single word of her report and I am going to accept her recommendation," he added. The Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said Starmer had to be led by the nose to make what she said was the correct decision. "I've been repeatedly calling for a full national inquiry since January," she said. "Many survivors of the grooming gangs will be relieved that this is finally happening. But they need a resolution soon, not in 10 years' time."
